Garden house

[lillilah]

We saw the garden house. It is great, although there are some little things that will need to be dealt with. I'm not going to deal with that right now, though. I'm going to focus on the next step, which is waiting for the report from the inspector. I don't need to do anything before then. My body spent the whole day dumping adrenaline into me, so I was too frazzled to do anything. And because I was on fast-forward, I ended up also being starving. It is just barely bed time, but I'm done. I'll sit in bed and ready trashy fanfic for a while and then go to sleep. I'll feel better tomorrow. Sleep is a good reset.

Sounds exciting!

When you say little, how many m²?

[lillilah]

Well, the website said 40sq m, but it turns out that it is 60sq m, which is plenty. When we lived in Russia, our apartment was about 40sq m, which was pretty small. Our house in the US is like 800sq ft, so this would be between the two. Our apartment right now is 80sq m, and we have a room that only has boxes and a treadmill in it. I think it will be fine.

That’s interesting. I lived in a house with 800sq ft also, and only lived in part while I renovated.

The biggest impact in my current place is the number of house plants and pets we have. It’s a jungle in there…

From recollection, I recall housing in pt was very cement and brick oriented, with not much insulation. Do they do the letter grade energy analysis for housing there like in Northern Europe?

I would love a jungle house. We aren't going to be able to have a lot, as the downstairs has very little natural light. The upstairs has some, but we can't have plants in the bedroom, because of my allergies. So, that leaves one upstairs room for plants. However, the yard is fantastic with tons of plants, so I'm really excited about that.

Yes, lots of cement, rock, or brick. This house has very thick walls which are probably cement or brick. They do have letter grade energy analysis, although this house has no insulation. Our plan is to have insulation put in the roof when they fix up the ceiling/roof.
